Hi All, I want to thank everyone for all the different tips on outfitting my M15. I added the TillerClutch, a tiller extension and a boom vang. I also pulled off the handrails and hatch trim and with the heatgun scraped off the old varnish and oiled the teak, looks great. (Toe rails next year.) For the boom vang I put one of Seals Spars stainless step plates under the mast to avoid drilling another hole in it. The thing is really solid and it raised the mast up just enough to make the side stays too tight. I've read Jerry's rigging tips and plan to loosen everything up so I can get some rake in the mast. My question now is, since I leave the boat at a mooring, do I have to worry about any damage from the mast flopping around with such loose rigging? Should I just tighten up the forestay when I'm done sailing? It gets pretty rough out there at times. Kevin Lynch M15 #200, Wee Fun
